Hey any BMW dealers still on this thread? How about the reported BMW antenna recall in Australia? Fact or fiction?

I take it to be impossible to prove the non-existence of a thing.

That said, there is at this time no recall in the USA on the ring antenna. I have no special access to recall information for non-US markets including Australia.

I believe that failure of a vehicle to start does not and should not fall under the safety umbrella of the recall system in place in the USA. I do not expect to see any recalls launched by any vehicle manufacturer for such a failure. I could (obviously) be wrong.
